12. In complete disbelief, I rubbed my eyes and looked at the monitor again, but the username “Yoo Chae” did not disappear and was still there in my friend list. Then I remembered that yesterday I was the one who sent the friend request first. ‘Why, you bastard?’ Did you just leave the friend request message unturned, waited and hit the receive button as soon as I left the guild? “Ha……” No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind other than that. I replied to the chat with a smirk of wonder. [I’m Sleepy: You are a real bastard.] The guy, who realized what I meant, sent a quick reply. [Yoo Chae: haha thank you] [I’m Sleepy: Not a compliment;] [I’m Sleepy: I’ll remove you] Thanks is bullshit. After the disappointment subsided to some extent, all that was left was frustration. I don’t feel like playing the game now, really. [Yoo Chae: Hyung] [Yoo Chae: Wait a minute.] [Yoo Chae: Hyung!] As I was trying to remove the username “You Chae” from the Friends window, new messages kept coming in and covered the screen. [Yoo Chae: Can’t you just listen to me once?] [Yoo Chae: I really helped Hyung for a week..] [Yoo Chae: Please listen to me once] “……” I narrowed my eyes to the chat that showed sincerity. What else is he trying to do? ‘...Well, it’s true that I was helped with this and that for a week.’ Not only did I receive help for raids, but I also received a lot of items. As my memory remembered that point, I was stabbed by my conscience. Well, there’s nothing to lose as long as you listen to his favor. [I’m Sleepy: Okay then] [Yoo Chae: Come to our guild.] No, this bastard is really...…… [I’m Sleepy: The End] That’s right. The message flew in again as soon as I clicked my tongue and made up my mind to remove him from the friend’s list this time. [Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋ ah kiddingkidding] [Yoo Chae: I’m not kidding when I said come to our guild, but seriously] [Yoo Chae: Anyway Hyung] [Yoo Chae: Are you mad?] [I’m Sleepy: Then wouldn’t you be mad if it was you?] [Yoo Chae: I don’t think I’ll be mad?] What the hell is this bastard talking about? I took my hand off the keyboard for a moment and the thought that he was a crazy person came to my mind without realizing it. …Let’s calm down. I also had a lot of things I wanted to discuss since yesterday, so I didn’t want to spend this conversation, which might be the last, in an angry way. [I’m Sleepy: Because of you, I am mad] [I’m Sleepy: I even thought about throwing away this account and grow a new one] [Yoo Chae: Don’t do that] [I’m Sleepy: Because I’m a person who hasn’t reached max level yet?] [I’m Sleepy: But before I could even raise it properly, I got tired of this] [I’m Sleepy: Of course, am I wrong?] ‘Oops.’ It was only one second after I decided to calm down, and I already lost my reason and showed my gradient anger. No, but how can you hold it in when you’re in a situation like this? If anyone goes through a dog-like situation like this, they won’t be able to get through it without vomiting up their anger! [I’m Sleepy: Let’s hear the reason] [I’m Sleepy: Why are you doing this to me?] [Yoo Chae: Why do you mean why?] Yoo Chae, who was not particularly offended by my chat, filled with anger, answered calmly. [Yoo Chae: Of course, it’s because Hyung went to another guild] [Yoo Chae: I’m also annoyed by the guild war] [Yoo Chae: But there was no other way to get Hyung to come out of the One Heart One Will Guild without harming you other than that] [I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋ?] [I’m Sleepy: Without hurting me? Is that correct?] [Yoo Chae: Hyung didn’t get… hurt, right?] Is he serious now? It was me who was annoyed when the conversation went like this. [Yoo Chae: Did you see that post?] [I’m Sleepy: Saw] [Yoo Chae: No one’s cursing Hyung] [Yoo Chae: It’s all insults of me, rather than One Heart One Will, right?] [I’m Sleepy: That’s given;] [I’m Sleepy: And that’s not all, they didn’t swear at me either] [Yoo Chae: they are the same one, who knew what happened from the post] [Yoo Chae: I’m the bastard who was sworn at from the beginning] [Yoo Chae: The One Heart One Will Guild only got scared and became the bastards who abandoned my Hyung] After glancing Yoo Chae’s chat for a while, I thought blankly. ‘That’s right, but...……’ [Yoo Chae: It’s just that my Hyung is an innocent newbie who got caught by the wrong people by mistake] [Yoo Chae: So, it’s not right if you get hurt] [Yoo Chae: What’s wrong with the guild] [Yoo Chae: If you come back here again, it’ll all be resolved haha] [I’m Sleepy: Don’t talk nonsense] I almost would have fallen for it. I grabbed hold of the guild proposal that the guy secretly gave me and asked the questions straight away. [I’m Sleepy: Why do you keep obsessing over the guild thing?] [I’m Sleepy: If it’s a selection contest or whatever, just find another newbie] [I’m Sleepy: It’s the number one guild, so it’s easy to find.] [Yoo Chae: selection?] When I met Kim Dae-seok earlier, I barely heard about the details of the Guardian Guild Selection. So, if the reason was to bring me to join the selection contest under Early Evening was understandable to some extent. ‘A newbie like me isn’t common after all.’ Anyway, I’m good at games. To be honest, I have the confidence to do it as much as others, just by watching a few videos of how the selection contest works. However, this time again, Yoo Chae’s answer far exceeded my expectations. [Yoo Chae: What does it have to do with Hyung and the selection contest?] You’re not doing this because of the selection contest? [I’m Sleepy: ?] [Yoo Chae: we would win anyway, even without Hyung?] …Fine, yeah. I scratched my cheek for nothing in the rush of embarrassment. [Yoo Chae: One Heart One Will, those bastards took Hyung to help them in the selection contest] [Yoo Chae: How did you know that there were even rumors that you were good at gaming..] [Yoo Chae: It’s really annoying...] I remembered the guild atmosphere of during the guild war was favorable to me. You can see I’m good at games, but Kim Dae-seok must have said it to his Guild Master. Didn’t he say that there was no plan to bring in new recruits in the first place? Maybe that’s why I was suddenly given permission to join the guild. [I’m Sleepy: Well, then what’s your problem?] [Yoo Chae: Of course, it’s because I just want to play games with Hyung ㅜㅜ] [I’m Sleepy: please give up that bullshit] [Yoo Chae: I meant it?] [I’m Sleepy: ?;;] [I’m Sleepy: Are you gay?] [Yoo Chae: I’m not gay..] [Yoo Chae: But what’s wrong with being gay? It may be gay] [Yoo Chae: Hyung, do you have a prejudice against that? In today’s world?] This bastard’s talking weird again. What? Prejudice? [I’m Sleepy: Is it the same as saying that someone else is gay and asking me to be gay?] [I’m Sleepy: I can hear that you are not really saying the truth] [Yoo Chae: I’m not gay] [Yoo Chae: I really want to be purely friends with Hyung.] [Yoo Chae: So, come back to the guild] In the end, the conclusion is to come back to the guild. Gradually, I grew tired of this conversation. I answered back after massaging my sore neck a few times. [I’m Sleepy: I did that shit on the server chat, so why am I going on about here?] [I’m Sleepy: Just because I didn’t curse doesn’t mean that I would come back to you] [I’m Sleepy: I was really going to quit, but I decided to keep going] [I’m Sleepy: Stop crossing the line and leave me alone] [I’m Sleepy: Pick another newbie for the selection contest] [I’m Sleepy: ok?] [Yoo Chae: What did you mean by quitting?] [Yoo Chae: Why? Why do you have to quit?] [Yoo Chae: If it’s because of the incident, don’t do that] [Yoo Chae: In a few days, everyone, including the four people, won’t even remember Hyung’s username] [Yoo Chae: So please don’t quit Hyung] [Yoo Chae: I’m good at games too, but why is Hyung quitting?] “Huu.” This bastard got stuck on a strange point again. ‘Ah, I’m so tired...……’ I wonder what it means if I try to mix up the chat more than this. It’s been over a week since I found out that I’m dealing with a guy like him. [I’m Sleepy: I’m not going to quit] [I’m Sleepy: If you don’t understand what I’m saying, then just shut up and log out of the game now] [I’m Sleepy: I have been trying hard to be friendly with you] [I’m Sleepy: Don’t be friends with me anymore and don’t mess with me] [I’m Sleepy: If I see your username one more time, then I’ll fr quit] [I’m Sleepy: Do you understand?] After about a minute of no response, Yoo Chae finally sent me the answer I was looking for. [Yoo Chae: Yes] [I’m Sleepy: Then, I trust you] [I’m Sleepy: Please don’t make me quit] [Yoo Chae: Yes, I get it.] [Yoo Chae: I’m sorry...] “……” The apology made me feel a little uncomfortable. You acted blatantly like you used to, then why are you apologizing all of a sudden? ‘…You didn’t do well like before, did you?’ Even if he showed such an attitude now, there was nothing I could do for him. Yoo Chae and I had a problem from the first meeting. It would have been great by now if this kid hadn’t been arguing because of my username. [I’m Sleepy: Good luck] After the chat, I removed Yoo Chae from my friends list. Although the ending was a bit disappointing... Still, this doesn’t seem like a bad ending. Now that I’ve properly explained what I want, Yoo Chae won’t bother me anymore. ‘...…right?’ But I didn’t have a good feeling about this. Even after clicking on the red rock to participate in the raid, I opened and closed the empty friend window over and over again because of an unknown anxiety. What the hell, is this awkward feeling? I also got rid of that Yoo Chae guy, so now all I have to do is enjoy the game comfortably. “……” Even after the raid started, I was constantly fidgeting, so I ended up spending the rest of the day not concentrating on the game. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Sellychi HM: Hello, again~ Zeronis from The First Night With the Duke, and Zenoris from this novel, lol

11. Zenoris Player Forum: [Rotel] Yesterday’s Zenorisian Love and War [Comments 30] Posted by: Mincho taste good | Views: 3,252 | Recommended: 12 All the guys who played the game at 8 o’clock yesterday saw it all ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Early Evening was the one who started the fight unreasonably. (Image file) Fkㅋㅋㅋㅋ fr Ignorant and the way they lead ㅋㅋㅋㅋ not only that, the funny thing is that Early Evening and One Heart One Will are in an alliance with each other, okay The reason why these Early Evening bastards suddenly rush out like a sergeant is because (Image file) (Image file) Did you see the Yoo Chae server chat?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That’s why ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (Image file) (Image file) Damn it, I wonder who that Sleepy Hyung is, everyone keep a note of that guy in your heads. (Image file) Sleepy Hyung, etc.―manager He even started to swear at him, Fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (Image file) (Image file) I hate the legends fk.. what about the live chat reaction? (Image file) I don’t know what happened so I’m in the dark, rs, I was hunting. I hate it when I saw everyone talking about it ㅋㅋ; (Image file) It looks like the deep-seated newbie was trying to compromise using server chatㅋㅋ, but that newbie was pissed off. (Image file) ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋBut Yoo Chae immediately rejected it ㅋㅋㅋㅋI think the progress went too fastㅋㅋㅋㅋ Last but not least, it was no more a server chat, but anyway, it was like a fucking dog fight So, it’s roughly because of the Selection Contest that is around the corner, ㅋit seems that Early Evening and One Heart One Will is fighting over a newbie, but of course, there’s a huge difference between their strength so One Heart One Will wouldn’t be able to win, fck Rumor has it that he was kicked out of the One Heart One Will Guild, but I can’t confirm that. yeah but it’s a shame that he’s leaving One Heart One Will ㅋㅋ I’m Sleepy < If you accept this person to join the guild, you’ll get beaten up by Early Evening, so be careful ㅋㅋㅋ Three-line summary 1. Yoo Chae is being Yoo Chae 2. Early Evening Gilma challenges omg 3. Demands newbie to send back [▼Expand comments] LV35.

Aldzlaz [Like 12 | Dislike 0] It’s really strange of Early Evening.. Looking at the screenshots, I’m Sleepy has already explained in advance that he was leaving, but the guild who accepted him was reckless and still went on war mode. Both of them are victims. ㄴ That’s shame on Early Evening ㅋㅋ Even calling it a guild made up of only scumbags and gambler bastards, so anyway it’s absurd ㅉㅉ ㄴ Still, it’s a guild that ranks first in Rotel, but isn’t it just a bit of an idiot ;; ㄴ Let’s sing a song every day for the right of the server transfer Written by Rotel kids~ LV55. It’s cold, it’s cold [Like 5 | Dislike 2] Isn’t this something the management should ban?? Persecution of the influx of high-profile people? If I were to act like that, who wants to play a game? It’s Early Evening that did something wrong. ㄴ Seems like you have to write correctly and blame the management ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴ That’s what I mean, the old people who acted like assholes are finished, but the newbies would get kicked out? ㅋ ㄴ Do you mean to be in the wrong? It’s beneficial to just go to war and settle it. yeah; LV42. I’ll sweep it out [Like 0 | Dislike 0] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI’m so tired LV33.

I’ll be that guy [Like 0 | Dislike 0] No, can you please change or remove the Guild war system?? There is no training in alternative games, there are only a few hitting and fighting.. In RPG... If you just want to hit an enemy with common sense, is this Hero? or is it Zeno? ㅋㅋ ㄴ Even though Zeno has some popularity, there’s a reason why it doesn’t get 1st place like Hero. The management team doesn’t do anything. ㄴ No, the comparison between RPG and Eos is a bit more than just that omg Hero changes items and maps every season. Zeno, who is RPG, can’t; so Let’s compare RPG with RPG LV70. dfafda [Like 0 | Dislike 0] Let’s be honest. The Guild war system is really useless. Please, just get rid of it. If you hit another guild for something to brag about, you might be advertising a local roommate, and fighting between guilds is enough in the Selection Contest. And no matter what, isn’t it that only the large guilds have an advantage? Please get rid of it. ㄴ It’s true, but if you tell this here, will the management see it? ㅋ ㄴ It’s good idea that the Selection Contest is enough.. There are a lot of things that are advantageous to the guild besides the war, do a lot of people already know that? People who spend a lot of money on stagnant games are here too ㅋㅋ ㄴ Yeah, if you’re envious, you’re also going to throw money into the game~ Anyway, this kind of bullshit is always just beggars speaking haha ㄴ Shield bastard has appeared ㄴ okay, did you spend money on the game and start your life? The delusion of a pig scratching his stomach in front of a computer ㅋ LV52. Brain wave [Like 0 | Dislike 0] Just clean it up already. Early Evening is fussing over I’m Sleepy. One Heart One Will is where that I’m Sleepy is, I am losing my brain now ㅋㅋ ㄴ This is what we all feel *** “Customer number 17, the set you ordered has arrived.” When I received the tray with the hamburger set at the counter and went up to the second floor of the store, Kim Dae-seok, who was sitting opposite me, whistled, and poured French fries on the tray. “No, it’s been a while since we last met together, so why only a hamburger? Let’s eat beef or something like that.” “A hamburger is enough.” In response to Kim Dae-seok’s words, I opened the hamburger package and took a bite. The slightly salty sauce and the taste of the patty spread throughout my mouth. “I’m sorry, though.” “It’s not your problem, what are you sorry for? I’m fine.” Yesterday, with the rejection of the guild war prospal of Early Evening, I finally got out of the guild . First I told Unyum Guild Master that I would go because I felt guilty of staying in the guild because I didn’t want to drag them into a war because of me. Unyum was deeply sorry for forcing me to leave. And he has been sending out additional friend messages asking if I needed help with anything. He was a good person in many ways. ‘In contrast, this bastard, Yoo Chae is…….’ As I remembered the server chat I had with him, I could only sigh. Kim Dae-seok opened his mouth, noticing me as I took a deep breath without eating the hamburger. “Hey, are you sure that you’re okay?” “What else would be wrong?” “It’s true that dogs are like that. What are you going to do now?” “I have to give up.” A guild was needed to quickly finish the raid quest and reach the max level, but that doesn’t mean you can’t reach the max level without a guild. Of course, it will take a little longer, but... it couldn’t be helped. “It’s not like the situation is going to go away just by giving up on joining guilds. I sent you the link earlier. Did you see it? Your username became popular in the Forums.” “Un, I saw it.” I looked, but nothing really affected me. There was nothing unfair about the comments posted as they knew who did the bullshit. Kim Dae-seok shook his head at my sarcastic attitude and began to put the hamburger into his mouth militantly. After eating a large hamburger in less than two minutes, he reached for some fries. “There’s going to be a lot of fucking bastards coming to see you, right? Wouldn’t it be better to just open a new account?” “In that case, I should just throw it away and do something else. Do you know how much I have done and to just throw it away after ten days of hard work?” “Hmm, that’s true… It’s amazing to reach lvl 200 in just ten days.” “Even if I were to hold it in, the bastard who caused the problem should be the one to hold it in. Anyway, stop making strange nonsense and eat quietly.” Kim Dae-seok, who had lost his appetite at my words, quietly shoved French fries into his mouth. Kim Dae-seok, who participated in a local basketball tournament in high school, was quite tall and large, so he ate a lot. After I also finished eating the hamburger I had in my hand, I thought while biting the straw in the Coke on my lips. Nurture a new account. Just thinking about it makes my chest tight and stuffy. It’s really terrifying to see your ten days of efforts of reaching level 200 turn into rubbish. Above all else, it was someone else’s fault, but I didn’t want to run away. My pride wouldn’t allow it. ‘Even if there are a few bastards who recognize my username and become aggressive, it won’t last long.’ If another incident happens like this, it’ll be buried soon. So, of course. After meeting with Kim Dae-seok and returning home, I took a shower and then turned on the computer. When I connected by clicking the Zenoris icon, a screen appeared with the character standing still just before entering the channel. “A new account, huh……” When I was eating hamburgers earlier, I firmly thought that I wouldn’t need a new account, but it was also true that I was worried about entering the game. Growing up slowly without being disturbed by anyone with another account? Of course, it’s good. It’s good, but it was also true that a lot of regrets remained on the ‘I’m Sleepy’ account. It was the first account I raised with the intention of wanting to try an RPG game after a long time, so I was attached to it. It’s so sad that I have to end it because of this issue. “Haa……” After squeezing my sore eyes tightly and arguing, I finally pressed the start button, instead of logging out. Yeah, let’s do what I want. I’m going to have to shoot out all the annoying bastards as soon as possible. The location was in the middle of the Central city because I left the guild yesterday and turned it off immediately. I turned off the event page and reward message that popped up and looked at the chat window. [All] Orubi: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ on [All] Orubi: Friend, have you left the guild already? [All] Air Guys: Could you please tell me where the skill tree is?? [All] Eongmwoeongmwo: Ugh ㅋㅋㅋI’m envious of youㅜ [All] Limbom: ForumㄱㄱPeople [All] Sweetic: @@@ Banned 5 turns / Waiting in the front yard / Current 7 People / Recruit 3 people / Cut @@@ [All] Blackshire: Buy a term book 0.5 per 1 book, 200 ginseng ear [All] Given : We are looking for cute new recruits for the friendship guild ! Newbie welcome! Let’s be friends! >< Fortunately, no one recognized me and talked about it or quarreled with me. Looking back, this would be natural. Most of the users will laugh at what happened yesterday, and only some of them will talk to me. Feeling relieved, I turned on the inventory. I must quickly move to the battle area. I tore the scroll that could be moved directly to the desired area and arrived in the southern volcanic zone. In front of the restricted area where the Red Dragon Raid takes place, it was crowded with users who came first. It was at that time that he was about to move towards the red shining rock to participate in the raid. [Yoo Chae: Hyung!] [Yoo Chae: Hello haha] “……?” DD-ring, DD-ring. A message came from an unexpected person with a lively message sound. Astonished and hastily opened the window of my friend, I found the nickname and frowned. “Fuck, what the hell?” Why’s this bastard in my friend’s list? --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Sellychi

10. Heat rose sharply within him and along with it grew some pain in the back of my neck. The despondency and anger he felt by the sudden event, made me think that Yoo Chae was a difficult individual to handle, which plunged my heart into turmoil. “Haa......” I managed to raise my head, after I took a deep breath while my face was still covered with both hands. As expected, the chat window reflected on the monitor was very chaotic as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped. [All] Famous for assassination: Sleepy Hyung, where is he? [All] Blue-eyed youth: Wow, the real vinegar of all fk time [All] Soup love country love: @@@@Breaking news) Early evening Gilma Yoo Chae sold as a gay bastard@@@@ [All] Iczzzz: So, what?? [All] Iczzzz: Did Sleepy Hyung backstab him or something? [All] Rodean: No [All] Hot sauce: Going from the No: 1 guild to the no: 15 guild is a far cry [All] Just a little more: Then why did he do that for? bs [All] Kokotori: I don’t care if it’s backstabbing or not, I want to enjoy the show ㅋㅋ [All] Anjoumo: Fk ㅋㅋㅋI’m sleepy Hyung, please go back ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Go jogging: Gay out! Gay out! Gay out! Gay out! [All] Melon Musk: This is a day to be memorizedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Watching all the chats coming up without break gave me a headache, so I moved the guild chat tab to the front. [Guild] Kyoko Kyoko: ㅋ.. What’s going on? [Guild] Beecher: Sleepy Hyung that Early Evening Gilma is talking about is Sleepy-nim, right? [Guild] Jang-hoon: Who else can it be except for him; [Guild] The greatness of chicken: I wish someone could summarize [Guild] The greatness of chicken: I don’t understand what’s going on;; [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: So, Sleepy-nim is from Early Evening [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Did Yoo Chae-nim torment you? [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: So, you left and came to our guild. [Guild] Popabam: right; Gilma explained it to me yesterday.. [Guild] Popabam: I am just saying this out loud, but I do believe that Early Evening is not going to stop [Guild] Kyoko Kyoko: bs what the hell [Guild] Unyum: ㅠㅠ Calm down [Guild] Unyum: First of all, Yoo Chae-nim’s chat still hasn’t been answered yet “……” Fuck... The only thing that came out was swearing. Having caused a great inconvenience to the whole guild, I started chatting quietly. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Sorry [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I said I was leaving in a week and so just left [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I didn’t know this would happen [Guild] Unyum: No, it’s not your fault [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: it’s okay, Sleepy-nim is not the problem [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: It’s not like it’s been a few months, ㅋㅋonly a week ㅋㅋ [Guild] Popabam: Well, for Early Evening [Guild] Popabam: It must be because of the selection match, isn’t it? [Guild] Beecher: yeah, Sleepy-nim is good [Guild] Beecher: So that’s why he’s trying to take him [Guild] Jang-hoon: Whatever it is; As I was about to apologize again, I stopped at the unfamiliar term. ‘The selection match? What is that?’ [Whisper] Soeso: Hey, is it because of that? [Whisper] Soeso: Is it for reals? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was curious about what it’s about, but because the guild atmosphere wasn’t so good right now it doesn’t seem right to ask. Thankfully, Kim Dae-seok sent me a whisper just at this time so I could ask him comfortably. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Hey, what’s the selection match? [Whisper] Soeso: Oh, that’s... um... [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: ? I narrowed my eyes at Kim Dae-seok’s suspicious attitude. Why are you doing that without explaining properly? But before I could ask, a large, red message popped out. [Server] Yoo Chae: Please stop buzzing in guild chat and make Sleepy Hyung leave the guild as soon as possible Thank you ^^ [Server] Yoo Chae: And just in case you don’t get it, I’m telling you right now, if you leave One Heart One Will and go to another guild, then you’ll get kicked out from there too, so it will all be vain [All] Kim Mong-mong: omg [All] Melon Musk: omg [All] Sitorolo: What a crazy bastard ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Park Destiny: omg [All] I like Nene Chicken: He’s basically declaring that if anyone takes him in then they’ll get pounded omg [All] BaniBaniyam: It’s like a funnelㅋㅋㅋㅋwith only one way to go ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] 1 part allowance: Hey, aren’t you going to the No. 1 guild? Isn’t that quite good.. [All] Combat power gauge: That guild will really make it hard no matter where you go That crazy bastard is really……. I suppressed my annoyance and opened the friend list window. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Just me [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Let’s talk a little because we’re friendly I would never have dreamed of ever adding that bastard as a friend, but to leave Gilma Unyum to handle him alone, I realized will only end up with things going nowhere. Damn, damn. I mumbled curses as if wanting to really hit and write Yoo Chae’s username in the Add Friend window at the same time. • Yoo Chae However, even a long time after sending him the friend request, the sign that says that he’s logged in did not appear on his username. ‘Why, this bastard?’ With a sudden surge of anxiety, I sent a whisper just in case. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Hey [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Can you add me back? The whisper chat responded with a . This means that Yoo Chae, that bastard did not even log out and was deliberately not accepting my friend request. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Add me as a friend [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Don’t ignore my fk words.. As I ground my teeth and sent a whisper, the server chat came up again. [Server] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung, I’m not going to receive any of your messages until you come out of that guild so stop sending me whispers/friend requests ㅠ [Server] Yoo Chae: Until you come out of that guild, I won’t receive any friends and whispers requests cri ㅜㅡㅜ [All] Aurel: Ooh ; [All] kwon: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Blue bird green: Wow, it’s really an all-time greatest win to watch this happening in real time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Tegongi: Oh, fk TMI? [Guild] Unyum: omg... [Guild] Beecher: Why is he like that really???? [Guild] Popabam: Now it’s just.. it’s funny.. ㅋㅋ Bang! Unable to hold my anger by only seeing the Server chat like a dog, I slammed the keyboard with my fist. After starting Zenoris, this 250,000 won gaming keyboard flashed colorfully again, flaunting that it has already been hit for the second time. Taking a deep breath, I opened the Zenoris website and went to the payment window. I bought 5 ‘giant loudspeakers’ for 6,900 won and typed a message with all of my sincerity. [Server] I’m Sleepy: Add me as a friend right away, you bastard. [All] Yong Chan-kang: Pffffttttt [All] Be generous: Gosh ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Nitro Georgia: Sleepy Hyung typed-back ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Blue Chopper: What’s with that username? ㅋ [All] snstmsns: The couple quarrels all over the place; [All] Jealousy: fk Cool down [All] Wangane Mandu: I’m not laughing, really ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] What is this: Are they actually comedians? [All] Red Lava: Please give me a server transfer ticket [Whisper] Soeso: Did you really buy that?? I left the screen with the friend list window open, but the only answer that came back was that there was no sign of login, and it was still questionable whether he had the intention to accept my friend request or not. [Server] Yoo Chae: Hyung, me too, I really want to be friends with you, but I can’t until you come out of that guild okay? ㅜㅜ [Server] Yoo Chae: Can you understand? Even so, don’t doubt my love... I want to be friends with you.. Come back soon ㅜㅡㅜ [All] I want to be rich: Ah, Fuck!! Fuck ah!! Fuck! [All] Jun-ai: Bleeegh bleeegh [All] I’ll take care of you: I might have witnessed a legend in my life, to see this not on Guild chat but on server chat [All] kan123: Don’t start acting like it’s a couple fight [All] Kim Moo Deok-bae: Please tell me how to block Server Chat [All] Full roll: What are the red pepper bastards arguing so much about?

I barely managed to catch up and use the second loudspeaker. [Server] I’m Sleepy: If you ask me to put everything down and come, do I have to come to yours? I’ve already said everything a week ago that I’m going to leave the guild, so why are you doing this now? [Server] Yoo Chae: That’s right, that’s why I’m trying hard to appeal to you to come back [Server] Yoo Chae: It’s too much to say that it’s rude... I’m just trying to get along with Hyung and raid dungeons together in the same guild as before.. [Server] Yoo Chae: I hate you! ㅜㅡㅜ Wa… what? I hate you? Shit, do you hate me? Is that really a chat from a 23-year-old boy’s hand? [All] Forty: ㅋㅋㅋㅋfkㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hate you! >< [All] cobb990: I think it’s quicker to just turn off the game [All] Wangane Mandu: I think I’m going crazy [All] Senior Moon: To turn off server chat Go to Settings [All] Feel the difference: Thanks;; [All] Melon Musk: ? I came back here after eating, it seems that it’s still in the middle of this lol [All] You gossip: I don’t know what’s going on now, but why Yoo Chae? Why the sudden hate??? ;; [All] Twice 2’s Jihyo fan: Then that just shows how much he wants the newbie~ Even though the temperature wasn’t hot, my body heated up from the soaring tantrums. Aggravated by having my threshold crossed without restraint, I tilted my head back for a moment and exhaled harshly. [Server] I’m Sleepy: You’re kidding with me right now? [Server] Yoo Chae: No? I’m not kidding, come out of that guild quickly [Server] I’m Sleepy: Even if I leave here, do you think I’ll go back to Early Evening?; [Server] Yoo Chae: That’s okay because Hyung, you already know what will happen if you do haha [Server] Yoo Chae: I’ll try to appeal to you again!! “Ha……” Biting my lip and lowering my head, I wrote down the question I wanted to ask on the loudspeaker.

9. [All] Phohong: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ is it Early Evening again? [All] White fox: What a bummer [All] Water eating hippo: Looks like their Gilma has anger issues again [All] Dragon dragon: Ah, a sweet match [All] Oh Lovebird: But isn’t One Heart One Will guild on good terms with the Early Evening guild? [All] John’s tasty beef restaurant: Cassak Bread1 go go go go The whole chat went into an uproar at the sudden declaration of guild war. Unlike me, who was dazed and stiff, Unyum, who managed to gain back reason, spoke quickly. [Guild] Unyum: omg;; [Guild] Unyum: Everyone, please press hold off with the voting for now [Guild] Beecher: Gilma-nim [Guild] Beecher: So, we’re not going to war, are we? [Guild] Popabam: fr.. we better evade war [Guild] Popabam: vs Early Evening, we would be robbed like dogs... [Guild] Jang-hoon: Then what else is the point of getting ripped off ㅋㅋ [Guild] Jang-hoon: It’s not that, right? [Guild] Soeso: ik It’s not like them to go to the extent of doing this dog shit [Guild] Soeso: I feel like I’m going to be robbed of my inner core ㅋ [Guild] Jang-hoon: ?;; [Guild] The greatness of chicken: why is Early Evening going this? [Guild] Unyum: I’ll go and find outㄱㄷㄱㄷ [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: then go ㅋ [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: I was beaten up at that one time, and I’m terrified now ㅠ.ㅜ As I watched the situation unfold with my hands prone on the keyboard, I frowned at a sudden thought. “No way…………” Do you think it’s…? It probably isn’t. An ominous speculation suddenly surfaced, and a chill ran down my spine. ‘Wake up.’ Anyway, there’s no way I’m that precious or something. To declare a guild war because of a newbie you’ve only known for a week? And it’s to the only friendly guild you have? I laughed out loud at the absurd thought. This is called being too self-conscious. Of course, they wouldn’t do that. [Party] Unyum: I’m [Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim [Party] Unyum: Sorry about the Raid;; [Party] Unyum: I don’t think we can do it right now Resolving my confusion, I quickly moved my stiff fingers to answer. [Party] I’m Sleepy: no no [Party] I’m Sleepy: I understand. [Party] I’m Sleepy: ㄱㅊ it’s okay [Party] Unyum: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I could feel the embarrassment that Unyum felt even through the monitor. What’s going on, really. I couldn’t say anything recklessly because I don’t know how guild wars are fought and progressed, but seeing the reactions of the guild members, it doesn’t seem like a normal thing. ‘More than that, if there’s even a vote system, isn’t it possible to not go to war?’ It doesn’t mean that we have to unconditionally accept the invitation to war. While looking at Unyum, who was struggling to get things right, I poked Kim Dae-seok to find out info. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Hey so [Whisper] Soeso: Oh? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Can’t we just refuse the vote all together? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: What’s all the fuss about? [Whisper] Soeso: Oh, this is.. [Whisper] Soeso: A bit more complicated than you think [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: What is it? After the chat, Kim Dae-seok became quiet. He seemed to have some reason, so I waited quietly to hear it. [Guild] Kyoko Kyoko: It’s time to go on a raid; [Guild] Kyoko Kyoko: I was in a hurry, so I pressed hold for now;; [Guild] Kyoko Kyoko: How’s it going with Early Evening Gilma?? [Guild] Unyum: There’s no answer ㅠㅠ [Guild] Unyum: Ah, for reals what’s happening.. [Guild] Popabam: Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake or something? [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: No, not even [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Sudden change of mood is too much [Guild] Jang-hoon: ik No manners Like the buzzing guild atmosphere, the entire chat was cluttered. The players seemed to be very excited at the rice cake thrown at a boring time. [All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ [All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ [All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ [All] PCTa: how many times has Early Evening applied for war? [All] When the engine is peeled off: Continuous attacks doesn’t make harm [All] granduca: it’s not the Fever Guild? [All] granduca: Suddenly, why One Heart One Will? [All] Pebble Class: Azon or not, Groak Four sec Early Evening Carvings [2] [All] Angel’s Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ [All] Pa-seok: Isn’t this the 3rd time? [All] Take a special lecture: they are 1cked for [All] Liu Bei Guan-Woo: King Chiman,, Yoo Chae-chan is an attention seeker,, [All] Park Destiny: Bloody,, fool,,,, [All] Knock knock: Ah don’t do it [All] Independence Fighter: I’m@Bored ㅋㅋㅋ Watching the chat going crazy all over the place gave me a headache, so I turned the whole channel tab out of sight. As long as the guild war declaration was released on all channels, it was understandable that the resulting wave was not small. Early Evening is the number one guild, so the guild it is competing with must be huge as well. [Whisper] Soeso: Sorry, I suddenly got a call from my mom [Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, the reason of what’s happening [Whisper] Soeso: Rejecting is possible but [Whisper] Soeso: If you reject the same guild 3 times [Whisper] Soeso: It’s considered as a defeat [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: ?? [Whisper] Soeso: 3 rejections → 1 defeat, okay? [Whisper] Soeso: If we lose a battle, [Whisper] Soeso: A lot of our guild places will be taken away [Whisper] Soeso: If you make a mistake, your level will drop, and you have to do stuff again. I tilted my head to Kim Dae-seok’s explanation. So, even if you reject this guild war, if Early Evening recklessly declares war two more times, you can refuse and lose, or start the war and lose, right? ‘Of course, if you just start the war, then if Early Evening loses and One heart, One Will wins...………’ Considering Yoo Chae’s skills and the amount of damage he deals during raids, plus the skills of their guild members, the likelihood of that happening was remarkably low. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Hey, this system is a bit weird; [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Isn’t it only good for top guilds? [Whisper] Soeso: But the number of guild proposals is limited for each guild. [Whisper] Soeso: Five times a year... [Whisper] Soeso: If I remember correctly, For Early Evening, this is their 3rd war this year [Whisper] Soeso: So, it’s a waste of time for them to use up their two remaining chances yes [Whisper] Soeso: In terms of gaining, it’s better to defeat another guild than ours [Whisper] Soeso: If we are at war the second time with the same guild, we wouldn’t be able to kill them [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: So, there’s a chance that the other 2 chances would be used later. [Whisper] Soeso: ㅋㅋㅋ that’s true too.. [Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, this is something tacit among the gilma [Whisper] Soeso: We don’t really get along until we are in need of each other [Whisper] Soeso: Long story short, it’s unconditionally known by the public [Whisper] Soeso: Even if you win, doing the war itself is troublesome and you will have to deal with a lot of damage [Whisper] Soeso: Let that idea go before we decide/ if we go on war [Whisper] Soeso: Let’s not go far as to meet them before the war either~ It would be troublesome [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: okay [Whisper] Soeso: It’s always Early Evening to use it all up first ㅋㅋ [Whisper] Soeso: Most guilds don’t even use their 5 times [Whisper] Soeso: Early Evening is the only guild who uses it up at the beginning of every year ㅋㅋㅋ “……” So, in the end, the Early Evening guild is the problem itself. Since there is a high probability that they will only harm each other, the guild wars that are implicitly avoided are also limited to five times a year, and they use it to openly brag about their strength to guilds weaker than themselves. ‘I didn’t think it would go so far to even have these trashy kinds of rules.’ I remembered the experience of doing the dragon raid while exchanging conversations with a microphone. It’s also true that they gave me items and took good care of me, so it made me feel very uncomfortable that I had been doing things like that on the Internet. I was in the wrong guild, and they even said that I was good friends with the Guild master. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I understand a little bit why they were reluctant about the guild war [Whisper] Soeso: Well, but that’s not all [Whisper] Soeso: There are some things that are a way off. [Whisper] Soeso: First of all, ranked near Early Evening, they’re not on familiar terms with the guild called Fever [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Fever? [Whisper] Soeso: yes [Whisper] Soeso: we aren’t of good terms with them either ㅋㅋ [Whisper] Soeso: It’s crazy that they go and try to defeat Early Evening as if they were really sick [Whisper] Soeso: It seems like they tried it twice with Early Evening this year and both ended in loss, so they still have a long way to go Fever Guild. I feel like I have seen it somewhere before. I immediately opened the guild window and typed Fever into the search bar. [3. Fever | Guild Level: Grand | Inn circle: 233 | Guild leader: Significant] It’s the 3rd best guild on the server. It was then that I remembered the name of the guild as I saw often in the chart. [Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, why did you ask all of a sudden? [Whisper] Soeso: Are you saying that we’re the ones that did the bad thing? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: It’s because I didn’t know about the war stuff in this game, so I just asked After hearing Kim Dae-seok’s explanation, I couldn’t understand the behavior of Early Evening even more. They must have guilds that they have a bad relationship with, so the matter of guild war proposals must be quite important. Judging by Unyum’s reaction, it doesn’t seem like it’s an event that can just be overlooked...…. [Guild] Unyum: Hm; [Guild] Unyum: Guys, listen up [Guild] Unyum: Everyone can do it now [Guild] Unyum: Yoo Chae-nim didn’t give an answer [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Yes [Guild] Popabam: Yep [Guild] Kyoko Kyoko: oko [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Yes After trying to contact the Guild Master of Early Evening for over 30 minutes, Unyum finally gave up that approach with a sigh. As the person in question does not give an answer, he will have no choice but to make a decision. Early Evening, the one that started the guild war, did not show any response, the entire chat quickly withered. [Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim [Party] Unum: rs as soon as you entered the guild, ㅜ [Party] I’m Sleepy: No, please don’t worry about me After a while, I came out of the party to go on a hunting quest in a slightly awkward atmosphere. Whatever it is, if there’s any problem, it’ll come up in the guild chat. Until then, I’ll have to level up. [All] I’m Sleepy: I’ll go and do a quest [All] Unyum: Yep [All] Soeso: ㅠㅠ I opened the inventory and rediscovered the scroll that I had not used because of the guild war vote. And right at the moment I was going to use it. [Server] Yoo Chae: Hello this is Early Evening’s Guild Master. “……?” A large, bright red text appeared at the top of the game screen. It seems that a ‘gigantic loudspeaker’ was being used, it was a cash item priced at 6,900 won each and was a chat message that was released to all channels within the server. [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: ??? [Guild] Soeso: Eh? [Guild] Kyoko Kyoko: What the heck? [Guild] Beecher: ? [All] Commander-in-Chief: What the fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Hatcher: Greetingsㄷㄷ what is the Guild Master of a huge guild doing here? [All] Make it dazzling: Kyaaaah Yoo Chae Oppa`~~>< [All] Bong-Joon Bong-Joon: Blegh The fact that Yoo Chae, who did not respond to Unyum’s desperate message at all, used a gigantic loudspeaker, or Megaphone for short, started to run rampant again, not only in the guild chat, but also in the entire global chat that had barely died doen. [Server] Yoo Chae: Sorry for the sudden guild war. [Server] Yoo Chae: But we had no choice either. [Server] Yoo Chae: It’s because the One Heart One Mind guild took away something very important from us. To my surprise, the moment I saw that, the next chat unfolded in my head. It was such a bizarre thought, and at the same time, it was very fucking disgusting. No way, no way… it’s not, right? Please……… [Server] Yoo Chae: Please return our Sleepy Hyung that you took. [Server] Yoo Chae: Until then, the proposals for guild war will continue. “Oh, shit.” [Server] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung, come back..I will do better....cri ㅜㅡㅜ As soon as the last message was posted, I couldn’t take it any longer, and buried my face in both of my hands. — TL Note: 1 [Cassak Bread] is a gaming term in which players fight and the loser deletes their character, essentially resetting all their progress.

8. (Guild Manager’s POV) I’m Sleepy [Offline] While I was looking at the member list in the guild window, I chatted my thoughts on the guild chat. [Guild] Drink some water: Come to think of it [Guild] Drink some water: Isn’t it tomorrow? That the one-week period ends [Guild] Bright Clouds: How was it? [Guild] Harn: Ah yes yes [Guild] Harn: Come on ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sleepy-nim, it’s been a week since you have joined ㅋㅋㅋ Six days ago, a newcomer, who joined the Guild Early Evening– ‘I’m Sleepy’, was a newbie that drew attention in many ways. He was not at all intimidated by the attitude of Yoo Chae. But even I was fed up with it, so I was curious as to how I’m Sleepy endured it. [Guild] I’m getting lazy: huh, if you don’t want to leave, it’s okay ㅠ Aside from the first impression of the guild master, ‘I’m Sleepy’ was a good user to get along with in many ways. Not at all like a newbie, he has good control, excellent fighting sense, and has a pretty good personality. A person who does not draw too much line or distance from others and does not burden others. If someone gives him a small help, he always expresses his gratitude or appreciation. He also does not forget and will remember the person who helped him, then he will repay even if it was a little help. To be honest, if they were a newbie, people wouldn’t have any complaints even if they just understood carefully. On the contrary, when people help him not only does he understand perfectly but also show more than that, so it was fun from the view of veterans. For that reason, most of the guild members, including the Guild master, Yoo Chae, were in a state of interest in ‘I’m Sleepy’, who had good game skills. [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Where do you get newbies like that? ㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: fr.. I really would like to take you in and teach you [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: I was in the Dragon Raid earlier. [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: Gilma came together with the newbie [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: He never loses and puts in damage well [Guild] Let’s do this: Ah, what was I doing at that level; [Guild] Let’s do this: I must have been digging in the back during that quest [Guild] Harn: I saw them avoiding the hits with Gilma’s skill [Guild] Harn: Blood’s cheap ㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Water-nim [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Now that the week’s going to be over, the time of his stay is ending soon too [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Are you going to register ‘I’m Sleepy’ as a member? [Guild] Drink some water: Hmm Guardian Guild Selection. In , there are several towns and cities, and there is a guild that protects the city. It was one of the large-scale guild events because various buffs and management amounts are received when a city or village is protected by winning the selection. The most popular and most competitive city was the centrally found Veritas. It was located in the center of the map, so it was a city used by many users, and it was the largest as well, so there were a lot of buffs and money that came with it. The Guardian Guild of Veritas City was currently Early Evening. When the selection match starts, Early Evening has to win the final victory against all the guilds that challenged them, wanting to take over the seat as the Guardian Guild of the Veritas City. [Guild] Drink some water: I don’t know [Guild] Drink some water: I think we should at least get confirmation from Sleepy-nim if he’s willing to stay in this guild. In order to participate in the selection match, at least one new user who reached max level within two months had to be included. It was also the reason that Early Evening started the recruitment of new guild members. In such a situation, the emergence of a newbie with excellent control skills was truly fate. [Guild] Drink some water: Yoo Chae [Guild] Drink some water: What do you think about the newbie? So, that guy was the biggest problem. If it wasn’t for Gilma’s crazy personality, he wouldn’t have asked I’m sleepy to leave the guild and I would have completed registration for the selection match sooner. Yoo Chae answered the question immediately. [Guild] Yoo Chae: I don’t know? [Guild] Drink some water: Ahw ㅡㅡ [Guild] Harn: No;; [Guild] Harn: You were supposed to be nice and then confidently say yes ㄷㄷ [Guild] Mocha Bread: fr [Guild] Mocha Bread: I heard you gave him the Solis wand with Lux 2 [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Solis is a real all-time legend ㅋㅋ [Guild] Manaolingnam: Ha fuck I want it too, who will give me such a new item for free? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Don’t talk to Hyung about the weapon [Guild] Yoo Chae: I think he took it without knowing it Yoo Chae, who warned the guild members in advance, then continued. [Guild] Yoo Chae: most likely [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung will leave [Guild] Drink some water: Is that so? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Yes [Guild] Drink some water: Then let’s pick another newbie? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Wait [Guild] Yoo Chae: I have an idea The guild members, who had been silent for a while at the command, soon began to gossip. [Guild] Mocha Bread: Ah, this feels ominous [Guild] Mocha Bread: Is it only me? ㅋㅋ;; [Guild] I’ll take care of you: Anyone visiting the incident bulletin board again? [Guild] Harn: It was quiet for a while ^^ [Guild] Bright Clouds: I shouldn’t get involved.. *** (Back to MC’s POV) After finishing my part-time job and working out at the gym, I got a call from Kim Dae-seok on the way home. - Yoo Ji-han. Why haven’t you logged in? “I’m out.” - Ah, part-time job today? “Uh.” Actually, I was late not only because I was working part-time, but also because I was working out. I was too lazy to explain it, so I just answered roughly. I was sorting out books at the bookstore, but my shoulders felt extra sore due to working out. While tilting my head back and forth to slightly loosen the muscles, I asked. “Anyway, why?” - Isn’t it today that you’re leaving the guild? Oh, yeah. Until yesterday, I had forgotten about it until yesterday because of the field raid. “That’s right.” -Are you going to come to our guild right away? I already informed my Gilma Hyung. ‘I was thinking of doing that, but...………’ For some reason, my heart was feeling too complicated to answer meekly. As I was quiet, Kim Dae-seok suddenly asked straight away without patience. - Are you not coming? “No. I’m coming. When I get home, I’ll wash up and log onto the game right away, so wait.” - Okiyo. My house was right in front. After I hung up the phone and entered the house, I immediately finished taking a shower and sat down in front of the computer. ‘Wait.’ As usual, I would try to log into the game, but I changed my mind and went to the Zenoris website. I thought it would be better to leave the guild before logging into the game. If people say hello through the guild chat for nothing, things will get complicated. Fortunately, leaving could be done on the website as well. Without hesitation, I went straight to the guild management page and clicked the [Leave] button next to the guild name ‘Early Evening’. [You have successfully left the guild.] I looked at the message on the screen for a moment and then turned it off. It was supposed to be like this. Of course, I feel a little uncomfortable when I think of the guy who surprisingly cared for me for the past week, but it can’t be helped. Above all, the plan was somewhat successful. Even Yoo Chae will have a lot of emotions when he sees me finally leaving the guild. I’ve only known him for a while either way. Thinking like that made me feel a little uncomfortable. Swiping my bangs, which were slightly wet, I logged into the game. I went to bed early yesterday because of my part-time job, so I turned it off as soon as the raid was over. Hence, I was standing in a black zone, where the dragon raid happened. After leaving the guild, the guild name above the username was blank, and the guild chat window was grayed out and disabled. [Soeso: hi hi] [Soeso: go to Central] [I’m Sleepy: Ok] After replying to Kim Dae-seok’s message and moving to the central city, I realized that there was no one but Kim Dae-seok on the window of my friend list. Guild chat is so convenient, I didn’t even think about adding friends. ‘No, of course, even if I remembered, I would have not added any friends either.’ I was going to leave anyway, but I made friends with the guild members in Early Evening, so I wasn’t sure how to interact with them if I added them as friends and then left the guild. I’m rather glad I didn’t. When I arrived at the central city with useless thoughts, Kim Dae-seok, who was waiting for me at the warp point, ran straight up and opened the party window. Next to him was the Guild Master of . [All] I’m Sleepy: Let’s go ㄱㄱ ㄱㄱ I didn’t expect the Gilma to come right away. Still, it wasn’t bad because I wanted the conversation to be quick. After I entered the party, Guild master, Unyum, greeted me. [Party] Unyum: Hello haha [Party] I’m Sleepy: Hello [Party] Unyum: I heard a lot about you from Dae-seok haha Kim Dae-seok called him Hyung, so he must have been a man, but I felt a very neat and gentle energy in the chat. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Is that so? [Party] Unyum: Yes, he says you are very good Your personality seems really good. Is that why you’re on good terms with the Early Evening guild? Unyum was wearing a bright red sword on his back that didn’t match the character’s smiling face. I think that weapon was for a Berserker. ‘Are you slashing mobs with a greatsword with a smiling face like that?’ After a few small conversations with me, Unyum said with a bright smile. [Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim, would you like to come to our guild? [Party] Unyum: It’s totally welcome haha [Party] I’m Sleepy: I’d really appreciate it Because Kim Dae-seok had already said everything, the procedure was simpler than when joining Early Evening. I wrote a few words of greetings in the guild join request that Unyum sent me and clicked the OK button. [Party] Unyum: I gave a rough explanation to the guild members. [Party] Unyum: You can stay here comfortably! At the same time as that chat, guild name was created above my username. The re-energized guild chat was filled with unfamiliar names. [Guild] Kyoyo Kyoko: Hello~ [Guild] Beecher: Hiyo~ [Guild] Popabam: Wow, there’s a newbie~>< [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Hiyong ㅇ.ㅇ [Guild] Jang-hoon: Hi hi [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Hello I was introducing myself again... However, this time, it was fortunate that everyone seemed to have good personalities. [Guild] Soeso: My friend ha [Guild] Soeso: Real friend ha~ [Guild] Beecher: You have friends? ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Unyum: Sleepy-nim is a newcomer so a real newbie [Guild] Unyum: Please help him a lot with quests and raids haha~ [Guild] Jang-hoon: Yep I laughed lightly at Unyum’s cheerful chat. [Whisper] Soeso: So? [Whisper] Soeso: What do you think about the atmosphere? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: It’s good I could say this was going pretty well. Of course, I didn’t see the same troubles like in Early Evening, but there’s no need to have anything like that to play a game anyway. [Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim, what level are you now? [Party] I’m Sleepy: I’m at 212 [Party] Unyum: Gosh, hasn’t it been less than a month since you started? [Party] Unyum: That’s really fast omg [Party] Unyum: Then can I help you with the raid quest? haha [Party] Soeso: ㄱㄱ I want to go too [Party] I’m Sleepy: Tk tk [Party] I’m Sleepy: The Dragon Raid is red now [Party] Unyum: Indeed red [Party] I’m Sleepy: I’ll use scroll and take a look When I was just about to open my inventory and click on use Scroll to move. Suddenly, the system was overtaken by another window that appeared in the center of the screen. The ‘Early Evening’ guild has declared war on the ‘One Heart One Will’ guild. War voting is in progress. The voting period is 3 days. [War Voting] Are you in favor of going to war? [Agree] [Against] [Hold] “……?” [Party] Unyum: ?? [Party] Soeso: ? [Guild] Jang-hoon: ?

7. In Zenoris, raid quests become available once reaching level 210. Raids are divided into field raids and dungeon raids. Field raids are generally easier and simpler. That’s why all the quests from level 210 to level 220 are field raids. The first accessible field raid quest was the White Dragon Hunt. The white dragon that inhabits the northern snowfield is a restricted area, a threshold of 50 players is required for entry. After Yoo Chae’s explanation and advice on how to complete the raid quest, we immediately moved to the snowy area. At the entrance to the restricted area where the White Dragon resides, players waiting for the raid to start were gathered. [Party] Yoo Chae: Once the raid starts, chatting would be difficult [Party] Yoo Chae: So Hyung, can we do voice chat? [Party] Yoo Chae: like in discord [Party] I’m Sleepy: Discord is okay [Party] Yoo Chae: Please tell me your code [Party] I’m Sleepy: YooJihan#62146 When I turned on Discord and gave my discord name, a friend request came right away. This guy’s discord usercode was YuChae, which was the same as what he used in Zenoris, Yoo Chae. Back then I didn’t want to bother with it and used my real name. Had I known it would be like this, I would have changed it to my game username first. [Party] Yoo Chae: Wait a minute [Party] Yoo Chae: I’ll call you. The chat stopped for a moment. Wait. Could it be just the two of us talking on the call? ‘It’s a bit awkward...’ I’m not a very shy person, but it was a little uncomfortable to talk to someone I had known for less than a week on a call. It might create an unpleasant situation. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Are you talking to me without anyone else? [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes. [Party] Yoo Chae: Of course When I asked him, the answer that came back was quite resolute. Guess it can’t help it... It’s not like I can refuse and say no to the raid now. [Party] Yoo Chae: Come in. Yoo Chae urges with an attitude that makes it somewhat hard to refuse. I slowly moved my gaze to the program window. There was no one else in the room he invited, only the two of us. I plugged in the microphone that had been put aside because I had no reason to use it until now back onto the headset and returned to my original position before participating in the call. Yoo Chae, who had entered before me, started talking first after a moment of silence. “Hyung?” “……Uh.” An unfamiliar emotion rushed up and my hand that held the mouse trembled. “Is it awkward for you to speak like this?” “...No, it’s not awkward.” When Yoo Chae heard the soft and tentative voice from the other side, he laughed, making the situation even more awkward. It was the first time in my entire life that I spoke to someone that I had only known for a few days in a game, so I wasn’t used to it. Hearing his voice actually makes me feel less like chatting. Before I lose my mind from the brewing silence, Yoo Chae brought up the main point at the perfect time. “See the rock in front of you over there? If you click that, you can participate in the raid.” “Okay.” As I went through the area filled with players and got closer to the entrance of the restricted area, I saw a blue rock that Yoo Chae must be speaking about. When I clicked on it, an opaque window with usernames popped up. There are currently 47 people participating in the raid. When 50 people are gathered, it starts, so if there are 3 more people that join, the raid will start. “It’s not bad to have only three spots left. After all, people usually gather pretty quickly at this time of the day.” “Is that so?” “Yeah. From 8pm to 10pm, a group gathers around immediately… After 11 o’clock it will probably slow down a little. It’s a weekday after all.” Yoo Chae continued to explain. He has a voice that girls will swoon over when they hear it. Still, he talked to me in a comfortable manner, so my tense shoulders relaxed a little. “It’s starting now. Hyung, have your weapon ready.” As he said, the three numbers were filled quickly and the entrance where entry was restricted before had opened. I hurriedly entered the restricted area with my staff and Yoo Chae followed right after me. The white snowfield with swirling snowflakes was spread wide in front of us, and in the center of it, a huge white dragon can be seen. Suddenly, a thunder-like rumble sounded. You have entered the battle area. Pay attention to your safety. The Lord of Frost is nearby. The Debuff will begin due to his presence. Field entrants are automatically given the quest ‘Subdue the White Dragon’. There were three debuffs given by the White Dragon: movement speed reduction, attack speed reduction, and recovery speed reduction. “Hyung, I’ll give you this, so wear it.” With the debuff, the movement speed has been significantly slowed down. Knowing this, Yoo Chae handed over a hair ornament to me. “If you wear this, your movement speed and recovery speed will return to normal. Only two of the three debuffs can be blocked, so keep in mind your reduced attack speed.” Since I’m a mage, it didn’t really matter if the attack speed was a little slow. I put on the hair ornament that I was handed with and replied reflexively. “Um, thank you.” “Yeah? It’s no problem…………” Yoo Chae’s voice, which had been steadily explaining without a change in pitch, suddenly shook violently after I said thank you. Before this, his voice flowed like we were chatting normally. “I’ll tell you its movement pattern.” Unlike before, Yoo Chae spoke with a slightly flustered tone. “Field dragons in aggro have differing movement patterns depending on their health percentage. See the gauge at the top?” “Is it the one that says 30?” “Yeah.” As he had said, at the top of the game screen, there was a bright red health gauge. Looking at the 30/30 gauge, I was able to guess how much hp the White Dragon had without having to listen to the explanation. “Down to 25 hp, it’s quite easy because the tail swipe and the stomp are visibly different in action and timing. It’s a good time to unleash skills, so make sure that we fill up at least half of the required damage during this time.” Both the level quest and the raid area entry quest could be cleared only by inflicting 500,000 or more damage to the White Dragon. I don’t know how much skill damage the White Dragon will take depending on the defense, but it’s clear that the more I hit, the better. “From 24 hp downwards, the dragon will fly to the sky, so it gets a bit tricky, but if you control your skills as usual, Hyung, that would be enough.” “I heard that it uses magic too.” “That’s right. From 24 hp, the dragon uses Hailstorm and Thunder from above. However, the speed is not that fast, so you just have to watch the floor markings and avoid it.” Of course, it’s easy to avoid if it gives markings on the floor. I nodded. “And?” “It will be shooting breath attacks at 17 hp… This is a bit tricky. The attack power is also high, so if you weren’t wearing that hair ornament, Hyung, it will be considered a deadly[1] attack as soon as you get hit.” “How do I avoid it?” “It traverses the entire map and spins around once, so you can use the evasion technique at the right timing. The direction is always clockwise.” “I see.” “And from 5 hp downwards, meteors will pour down. I will explain more of this to you then, since it’s a bit hard to explain it with words.” “Hmm.” I was still a little nervous about what I should do and wanted to make it clear about what to do again. However, I had no choice but to accept it due to not having time to ask for a reexplanation. As soon as the conversation with him was over, a video of the white dragon howling appeared, and the raid began in earnest. [All] Herrera: You guys are crowded around 7 o’clock[2]; [All] Herrera: There’s a lack of people at 12 o’clock [All] Kola: Who is a buffer or healer here?? [All] Rabbit woof woof: Whoever is the sharpshooter in front of me move away [All] Rabbit woof woof: You’re bothersome for moving backwards As soon as the video ended, 50 users rushed towards the White Dragon. As Yoo Chae said, it was to fill up the damage during the moment where the pattern was easy. I also mixed among them and cast spells as much as I could. Thanks to the fact that they were in a party together, Yoo Chae’s chain damage was much more distinguishable from the damage numbers of other users. While the others did 2,000 or 3,000 damage or so, Yoo Chae continued to pour over 20,000 damage by himself. The white dragon, who had been wailing from being beaten by 50 people, flew away with its huge wings wide open. It was exactly at the the moment when the health gauge reached 24/30. Kurrng! Thud! A hailstorm and pure white thunder, which causes wide-area stun when nearby, randomly fell on the field. I was more wary of the Hailstorm than the narrow-ranged Thunder and moved around it. The users who were stunned due to the hailstorm were hit by thunder and started to collapse one by one. [All] Rabbit woof woof: Ah, long-distance bosses are frustrating [All] Coffee Aroma: It’s too late, there’s blood all over the place;; [All] Shadow Drawing: No, it’s just that we’re lacking long-distance attackers.. [All] Shadow Drawing: I have to change the field arrangement to fill 25 people in the far distance [All] Mishare: fr the speed at which the gauge decrease shows the level of the game Certainly, the speed of the gauge decreasing was noticeably slower than before. From what I see, there were about 16 ranged attackers, but since the number was smaller than that of the close-range fighters, the attack power was also weakened. Roaaar—! Still, after steadily whittling down the gauge, the dragon came down to the ground again. Then, it opened its mouth wide and let out a long, pure white fire. It was Breath, a skill that only boss dragons had. It was clear that the dragon was breathing out in a clockwise direction, but it was slightly more difficult than I thought to use the evasion technique in the right timing. “As expected, you’re doing well.” When I barely escaped the fourth breath, Yoo Chae, who had been playing the game quietly, praised me. It was a compliment from the person who told me the pattern, so I quietly accepted it for now. Unlike me and other novice players, who are busy avoiding the breath attacks, the gauge quickly decreased due to the power of Yoo Chae and other veteran players, who skilfully dodged and kept attacking back. After the 8th breath, the white dragon whose health gauge reached 5/30 started flapping its wings again. Finally, it was Meteor time. If you survive this turn, you can catch the White Dragon. I immediately stopped casting skills and asked. “What should I do?” “Come to my side.” As the white dragon climbed high into the sky, it created a bright red fireball, the number 10 appeared on the screen. It meant that after 10 seconds the meteor was going to pour down. “See the blue stone in the front? When the meteor pours, the stone turns on the shield. That is the only way to avoid it.” “Like the one at the end of the 12 o’clock position?” “Yeah. There’s four. The 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and 9 o’clock positions are at the edge of the map. Meteor will fall a total of 4 times, and in each time, we have to move to a different stone.” I ran quickly as I listened to the explanation and arrived at the 12 o’clock position. At the same time, 10 seconds passed, and a large meteor fell with a deafening roar. It was a close call. “I don’t think I’ll be able to make it in 10 seconds on the next turn though.” It was impossible to summon a pet because the field quest was in progress. Looking at Meteor inside the opaque shield, Yoo Chae confidently answered the question. “That’s why I told you to stick with me.” Yoo Chae put his golden chain away and took out a red chain instead. Chiing, the character of Yoo Chae turned the chain round and round as if he was charging a skill. “Hyung, please send me a bond request.” “What?” Is there such a thing? As I was curious, I right clicked on Yoo Chae’s character and a new item called [Bond Request] was added to the list. When I pressed it, my character was closely attached to Yoo Chae’s character. That’s what this was for. “Is there such a skill?” When I asked this question, Yoo Chae said in an excited voice. “It’s one of the hidden skills of the chain job” Just as the Meteor ended, Yoo Chae swung the long chain and swirled it towards a pole in the distance. Me and Yoo Chae’s character, who were sticking together, flew to that place in an instant. “The hidden skill is good, but it seems like a skill that can’t be used often.” “I certainly won’t use this anywhere other than these types of situations...……” “Yeah. After all, there are few chain users.” Easily moving to the 3 o’clock stone, we survived the second Meteor without any problems. Other users asked a nearby buffer to increase their movement speed or received teleport help from a max level wizard. Those who were running ignorantly were brutally beaten to death by Meteor. If you survived Meteor, then what comes next was easy. Since Meteor was the final skill, the white dragon that came down to the ground was attacked by everyone and collapsed without making a click. When the health gauge reached 0/30, a bright light burst, and the quest was completed. [All] Rising full moon: ㅅㅅㅅ3 [All] Script: tk tk [All] Kankan2: tk dragon [All] Mishare: Good work~ “Hyung, have you filled the required damage amount?” “I filled it.” I opened the completed quest window and checked how much damage was dealt. 502,361 damage. It was really a narrow success. “I passed the required amount by about 2,000 damage and barely did it.” If I had hit even one less, then the quest would have been unsuccessful. Still, the level quest and field quest experience came in at the same time, so it was rather salty. “Hmm. Hyung, what kind of staff are you using now?” “Luna.” “I think the damage dealt is less because of the staff. Wait.” When the White Dragon died, we were automatically kicked out of the area. Yoo Chae summoned his inventory and immediately set up a trade. I frowned at the staff that was placed on top of the transaction window. “I don’t need it.” “It’s not expensive, Hyung.” Yoo Chae replied straight away, as if reading my thoughts. “As I’m used to the staff I am using right now, it will be hard to react quickly in the upcoming raid quests.” “What’s so different about using this?” I looked at the staff on the transaction window. It has the 4 same stats as I have. There is no difference in attack power or durability. However, the Lux 2.0 written at the bottom of the spec window was a bit suspicious. “Hyung uses elemental skills often, so the Solis staff will be more useful.” “What’s the extra spec at the bottom?” “That’s just… It doesn’t matter. It’s like extra damage, but 2% isn’t that big.” “……” I was suspicious and didn’t want to accept the transaction, so I opened the auction house window to check its price. The answer to every problem will always be in the auction house. I looked through the list of staffs at the auction and saw a few things tagged. Let’s see... 4 lvl Luna staff. The price of Lux 1.0 is about 5,000 gold. It’s not super cheap, but the staff price was not expensive. It doesn’t seem like a big deal? Then it’s not a big deal to receive it. With a light heart, I pressed accept deal to get the staff and received the staff. “Thanks.” “It’s nothing.” As soon as I held it, the blue jewel embedded in the tip of the staff shone brightly. This is the first time I’ve seen this effect. In response to my gratitude, Yoo Chae spoke in the brightest voice I had ever heard today. “Use it well, Hyung.” —- Author’s Note 1 Deadly: The state on the verge of being impossible to survive. Even one hit will kill you. TL Note: 2 [O’clock] usage means like they are talking about the ground in a clockwise area. Think of the land like a clock and clockwise direction. Then the markings will be of the 1-12 hours 3 [ㅅㅅㅅ] It’s a clapping emoticon --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Sellychi This is where they do discord call.

6. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: You need Linne feathers, right? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Can I give it to you? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Alright, How many do you have? [Guild] Yoo Chae: About 50 [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Give me all [Guild] Yoo Chae: Haha, where are you now? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Go to Kelp Forest fast travel point It has already been four days since I joined the guild. After the first day, when I was shocked that I couldn’t leave the guild, and the second day, when I was terrified of being stalked by Yoo Chae, I was easing down from the shock on the third day, and on the fourth day, I was slowly getting used to it. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, what level are you on right now? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: 207 [Guild] Yoo Chae: At level 208, there are accessories that you can wear, would you like to have them? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: okay As soon as he realized that I wasn’t refusing his offers, he started to pour out items with his eyes shining. And I just took everything he gave me. It’s good to just stay for now and leave the guild after a week. But when that happens, I’ll only be leaving the guild, and that bastard’s stalking will still be there. The important thing is not only to leave the guild after a week, but also to cut off the interest of the incomprehensible Yoo Chae towards me. Take everything he gives and never do anything in return. Humans inherently have a ‘reward mentality’. If you are giving out this much, you will expect that even a small reward will come back. And if those expectations are not met, you will be disappointed and heartbroken. I smiled deeply as I watched Yoo Chae’s gathering all the items I needed, while going back and forth throughout the game. ‘It’s going according to plan.’ Accept it in moderation and ignore it in moderation. Then I don’t have to be stressed, and I’m still going to be able to get items, according to my wishes. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: The shoes you’re wearing right now are lvl three, aren’t they? [Guild] Yoo Chae: It’s being sold out at the auction for lvl seven, should I buy it for you? Level 7? I immediately stopped killing monsters and opened the auction window. I didn’t tell you what kind of shoe it was, but the price would be similar to the other level seven shoes. I shook my head when I saw that the level 7 shoes on the auction house were worth 800 million gold. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: No [Guild] Yoo Chae: Why? It’s good tho [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’ll be done with you if you buy it [Guild] Yoo Chae: Meany ㅜㅡㅜ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I need help in the swamp Of course, there are some conditions to this plan too. Like not accepting extremely expensive items. If you do something like that, then you’ll become a scammer who grabs a pushover and rips off an expensive item. It’s a bit of a burden to carry the guilt of that expensive item. The items I have received so far were only the materials required for the event quest or items to be worn that were below level five. For those that were level 5 or higher, the probability of failing increases tremendously when strengthening, so the price often rocketed as well. When I checked the ratio of game money to cash on a cash exchange site, it was about 100 million gold in game money to about 100,000 won in cash. So, 800 million gold is 800,000 won. ‘What’s with this bastard, you’re trying to give a gift of 800,000 won to someone you have only met just a few days.’ It was funny for me to think like this, but to be honest, it was a bit pathetic too. Of course, the Guild Master of the No. 1 guild on the server would have that much gold unlike me. [Guild] TheHunter: What am I looking at.. [Guild] Bright Clouds: Just ignore it [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Do they not give a damn? I think I’m going to go crazy soon ha [Guild] I’m getting lazy: fk me too ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: Why not just add each other as friends and use the friend chat? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Is that so?? Hyung, do you want to add as friends? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Do you want to; [Guild] Yoo Chae: Well, I don’t want to be talk through the Guild chat Ah, is that so? The past four days felt like it was endless. Having been able to ignore Yoo Chae’s nonsense to some extent for the past four days, I ignored it again and checked the whispers that came from Kim Dae-seok. [Whisper] Soeso: Ah, I’m really sorry ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Whisper] Soeso: I’m really responsible for leaving out this important information [Whisper] Soeso: Loyalty! Loyalty! Kim Dae-seok, who made a great contribution to the development of this situation, has promised to let me join his guild after this week, after he begged the Guild Master of his guild. The guild to which Kim Dae-seok belongs to is , it was one of the guilds which had a good reputation and always maintained the top 15 ranking. What’s more is that it was one of the few guilds that maintained exchanges with the No. 1 guild, Early Evening. Newcomers are not welcome there too, but Kim Dae-seok, who somehow ended up introducing me to a stalker, explained the situation to the Guild Master of his guild and agreed to let me join in. ...No, to be precise, it was an agreement. If that fails, I’ll have to go to another guild. ‘Why is it so hard to join a decent guild?’ It’s been a few years since I’ve played an RPG, and I don’t know much as I didn’t join a clan in HOL. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’ll be watching you [Whisper] Soeso: I swear I’ll be faithful this time ^^7 What’s more important than that is the raids. I’ve already hit level 207, so I’ll have to prepare soon. Most of the rewards from level 210 can be gained from raid quests, where party play was significant. Of course, it’s possible to level up by solo play without a raid, but to do that, you have to clear the same quest 3 times or more. So, no matter how little you are lacking in control, I definitely have to participate in the raid quest. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung! Hearing my request, Yoo Chae, who came all the way to the Hell swamp, rushed to me as dozens of leeches from the swamp were getting ready to fight. I look at my stamina, it was affected by a stamina drain that would kill me if I put in one shot of a wide-area skill. The swamp leeches have very high defense and stamina, and it is a quest that can be cleared by catching 50 of them, so it is a time-consuming quest, but thanks to that good stalker, it took me less than 5 minutes to clear. Kuung—! Kieeek! I aimed at a swamp leech at the center and dropped a fireball with accuracy. Then, a group of monsters that were barely alive drenched with blood from time to time succumbed to death, and the experience points increased. After receiving the experience of killing monsters and the experience of completing the quests, I successfully reached level 208. Now, I can wear the accessories I got earlier. [All] Yoo Chae: It was just 50, right? [All] I’m Sleepy: yes [All] Yoo Chae: Did I do well? [All] I’m Sleepy: yeah When I answered insincerely while cleaning out my inventory, which had become crowded with auto-acquired items, Yoo Chae said nothing for a while, and then immediately started expressing his emotions. It was the blushing emoji that was created by pressing Alt F1. I was doing everything to make a difference in his character so that he gets annoyed at me and loses interest. So, I went forth with the plan. When I turned off the inventory after I organized it, the guy, who was quietly waiting, asked me again. [All] Yoo Chae: Do you have more hunting quests? [All] I’m Sleepy: 30 Black Ghosts to the East [All] Yoo Chae: I’ll come with you too [All] I’m sleepy: Okay ㄱㄷ Since this is the northern end, it was faster to use a scroll to go east. I opened the party window to move like Yoo Chae, I typed something in the name field, and clicked the Start Recruit button. You have started recruiting people to form a party. [All] I’m Sleepy: Join the party ㄱㄱ; Even though I chatted to ask him to join, Yoo Chae stood still for a while as if in thought. What’s wrong with you again? [All] I’m Sleepy: ? As there was no response for over 3 minutes, I thought that he might have left without a word, so I chatted once more, and just then, the sound of joining the party rang. Yoo Chae has joined the party. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Why didn’t you join right away? [Party] I’m Sleepy: Should I use the scroll? There was no answer this time as well. What are you doing now for real? I didn’t want to waste any more time, so I used the scroll. The flashing effect obscured the screen, and the scenery changed shortly after. The black swamp boils and rises like lava, sprinkling debuff rains from the sky. It was only when I put on the robe to block the debuff, that Yoo Chae started chatting. [Party] Yoo Chae: Just a little [Party] Yoo Chae: surprised... [Party] I’m Sleepy: About what [Party] Yoo Chae: to be in a party with Hyung [Party] I’m Sleepy: It’s just being together, is there anything more than that; There are many surprises it seems. It was probably not your first time playing in a party either. [Party] Yoo Chae: I can’t believe I’m in a party with you [Party] Yoo Chae: You did say you were going to let me join you [Party] Yoo Chae: When I join a party, there’s a title that gives buffs [Party] I’m Sleepy: fr? Then put it on right now [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don’t know why he’s laughing, but Yoo Chae, who’s complex was good and stood in my way, changed his title straight away. As soon as the title name 〈Grandmaster Pursuer[1] Yoo Chae〉was changed to 〈Sacred Master[2] Yoo Chae〉, my character’s health increased, and the mana recovery speed became noticeably faster. [Party] Yoo Chae: Increases stamina by 20, recovery mana speed and experience by 3% [Party] Yoo Chae: It’s not an actual buffer title, there aren’t many useful buffer titles [Party] Yoo Chae: Sad ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] I’m Sleepy: Tk If there is a buffer job, then the title seems to give you a buff too. From now on, I have to be friendly with users who have jobs as a buffer. [Party] Yoo Chae: Should I go after the monster? [Party] Yoo Chae: I can get 30 Black Ghosts within a min [Party] I’m Sleepy: okay As he had said it so himself, he quickly dragged 30 Black Ghosts to where I was. Ah, he’s really good at it too. He has a skill that draws nearby enemies to one place and deals with the damage impact, it’s easier to destroy monsters in such a way than other ways. So, with the help of Yoo Chae, I completed the quest at an incredibly fast speed and achieved the feat of reaching level 210 within 5 days of taking level 200. Yoo Chae, who had fun partying with me and playing games, hit the chat right away as soon as I reached level 210. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Should I explain to you about Raids? — TL Note (also a bit of the editor-san’s note): [1] Also could be translated as [Stalker] could mean that this specific title could be used to help him keep track of a certain someone ¬‿¬ [2] Also could be translated as [Leader] was implied afterwards that this title grants the user the ability to provide party buffs --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Sellychi wwww...

4. [All] Yoo Chae: I’m just really curious [All] Yoo Chae: I see that you’re not going to answer [All] Yoo Chae: Am I right? Right? [All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋ; No matter how much I think about it, this guild was not for me. It would be bad if there’s such a bastard in it. At this point, I was rather grateful that that guy dropped by to talk crap about my username. If it wasn’t for that, I would have continued to be a guild member in the guild without even knowing that such a guy existed. [Whisper] Soeso: I’m a little creeped out right now.. Is this normal? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: yes Even the watching guild members were flustered by Yoo Chae’s sudden change of attitude, which was as if his character was suddenly possessed by a ghost. [All] Let’s do this: Am I dreaming? [All] Let’s do this: Gilma is actually using yo to be polite.. [All] Harn: Woah our Gilma is actually a guy who knew how to be polite [All] Park Seung-jin99: What is this magic of suddenly being a polite person at once by putting yo at the end of the sentence? [All] Harn: Gilma is trying hard As I looked at the monitor, I sighed and rubbed my forehead. I’m not even curious as to why he suddenly changed. I just want to get this situation sorted out and go hunting. ‘I was just trying to get into a guild, but I didn’t know it would be like this.’ I took a moment to organize my thoughts and chatted again. [All] I’m Sleepy: I’m leaving this guild [All] I’m Sleepy: I’ll pretend not to know you guys if we run into each other in the future [All] Drink some water: Wait;; [All] Yoo Chae: No [All] Yoo Chae: Don’t leave [All] Drink some water: ? [All] I’m Sleepy: ? After regaining my composure and opening the guild window to leave, I once again distorted my face at the newly uploaded chat. [All] Harn: Wow.. [All] Park Seung-jin99: I’m sorry Gilma, but I think you’re crazy [All] Harn: This is a bit… [All] Yoo Chae: I won’t kick you out [All] Yoo Chae: So, please be active in the guild [All] I’m Sleepy: ? [All] Drink some water: I think I’m going crazy “Ha, damn it...…” Unexplainable emotions rushed over me. I lowered my head and rubbed my forehead to soothe the upcoming headache. What the hell is wrong with this him. I wouldn’t usually be bothered, but now that I fell in love with the game Zenoris itself, I feel bothered. ‘No.’ This won’t do, fuck. Thinking back on how hard I’ve been working on this game in the last 10 days. But just because of this…… Calm down. If I put a reason to why I was leaving, I will get caught up in this chat again. I held back my anger, calmly erased what I originally typed -’Where do you live?’ and wrote a new one. [All] I’m Sleepy: no, I’m leaving [All] I’m Sleepy: Just kick me out [All] Yoo Chae: I don’t want that, so don’t leave please [All] Yoo Chae: You don’t even need Drink some water to accept you [All] Drink some water: Don’t put my name in this.. you two, do whatever you want.. ‘Aa, I’m going crazy! I want to leave!’ [All] I’m Sleepy: No, fk what are you saying; [All] I’m Sleepy: Even if you’re not going to make a fuss about the username, you’re still telling me to leave, right? so I’ll leave [All] Yoo Chae: You don’t have to change your username [All] Yoo Chae: Before when I told you to leave. I didn’t really mean it.. Bang! Unable to handle the bursting anger, in the end, I could only hit the keyboard furiously. An expensive gaming keyboard flashed with colorful lights… Wait. This situation right now, I feel a sense of Deja vu. [All] I’m Sleepy: Okay then [All] I’m Sleepy: I will go out on my own I clicked on the guild window again. There must be a leave button somewhere here. [Whisper] Soeso: Um... Yoo Ji-han After looking around for a while, I finally found the small leave button in the lower right corner. But why is it gray? [Whisper] Soeso: You see...you can’t leave for a while...? [All] Harn: Oh, Sleepy-nim, how is it.. [All] Park Seung-jin99: Tears are covering my eyes ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Drink some water: You won’t be able to leave [All] Drink some water: Unless you are being kicked out, you can only leave after a week [All] I’m Sleepy: ? No way. Denying the reality, I hastily pressed the gray exit button, but nothing changed. My expectations, in which I believed an information window would come up with the words ‘You have left the guild’, were mercilessly shattered. [All] Let’s do this: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ [All] Harn: No, you came in without knowingㅋ [All] Drink some water: Because of the traffic and stuff [All] Drink some water: Once you join a guild, you can’t leave for a week.. [All] Park Seung-jin99: Uh-huh everyone, don’t laugh! [All] Park Seung-jin99: How would you feel if You were Sleepy-nim right now! — — [Whisper] Soeso: Hey, sorry [Whisper] Soeso: I forgot to explain ;; I looked at the chat window that came up one after another in vain. So… I can’t leave? Does this mean that I have to spend a week in this guild? [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: Please take care of me, Sleepy-nim “……” He’s a real dog. *** No matter how ruined your life is, tomorrow’s sun will still rise. It’s funny to say that I have to be in the wrong guild for a while, but it can’t be helped. For gamers, games are life. Before logging in to Zenoris, I paused and thought for a while, then I changed direction and started installing HOL again. It’s been a while since I deleted the account before the semester started. After finishing the installation and starting the game, the main window with the play video was displayed to see if a new hero had come out, and a friend list window appeared next to it. In the past, as soon as it was turned on, I would have started doing ranked matches right away. After taking a few months off, I didn’t feel like doing anything. Even so, only the thoughts of Zenoris, which I had been working hard on for the past ten days, grew stronger. I didn’t have the confidence to last a week in that guild, so I thought I’d log into HOL...…… “Isn’t there anything that’s going on?” I also just need to leave. Thinking like that, I moved the mouse, and a message came from someone in my friends list. [Flying away] Gosh Yoo Ji-han is online hi [Flying away] It’s been a while [I’m Sleepy] Hyung hi hi ㅋㅋㅋ It was Seo Tae-young, a pro who worked as a mid-player for the LVS team until last year’s spring season. He’s four years older than me, and he retired a year ago and turned into an internet broadcaster. He’s also one of the few streamers I like. [Flying away] You must have been really busy [Flying away] Vacation break? [I’m Sleepy] Vacation is already over [I’m Sleepy] I wasn’t here because I was playing other games ㅋㅋㅋ [Flying away] What were you playing? [I’m Sleepy] Zenoris [Flying away] Isn’t that RPG, nim? [Flying away] That’s a little surprising [Flying away] Is it fun? [I’m Sleepy] It’s not bad [I’m Sleepy] What have you been up to lately? There were several more chats about each other’s regards. Seo Tae-young, who was preparing to get married to his girlfriend, who he has been dating for three years, laughed that he would be busy. [I’m Sleepy] Congratulations Hyung ㅋㅋㅋ [I’m Sleepy] Has the date been set? [Flying away] yeah October 9 haha There is a little over 2 months left [Flying away] Can you come? Is there still school in October? [I’m Sleepy] Even if I’m busy, my Hyung’s wedding is a must go of course [I’m Sleepy] I’ll put on a lot of congratulatory money [Flying away] Uh-hu it’s alright [Flying away] I’m not the kind of bad adult who rips off congratulatory money from students ㅋㅋㅋ [Flying away] I will send you the wedding invitation when it comes out, so just come, eat, and go [Flying away] With Ji-yun in mind, I will put all my heart and soul into choosing the best placeㅋ Seo Tae-young, who has become a groom, looked very happy. Seeing him like this puts a smile on my face. [Flying away] Even if you don’t turn on the game, please chat over Kakao Talk at least once in a while [Flying away] There are still a lot of people who wonders about you [I’m Sleepy] ㅋㅋㅋok ok After saying a last goodbye to Seo Tae-young, I closed HOL and turned on Zenoris. After failing to leave the guild yesterday, I turned it off right away, so the location was still at Pherroco Lighthouse Island. [Guild] Let’s do this: Gosh [Guild] Let’s do this: Sleepy-nim haik ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Sleepy-nim hi hi ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Newbie-nim hi~ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: hi ya [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Hi ya The guild members who knew about the resignation event sent greetings with laughter. I responded with a sarcastic attitude and hurriedly opened the guild window list to check whether the most important opponent was online. Yoo Chae [Offline] “Ha……” That’s a relief. During this time, I have to hurry and change my status to Away or Offline...… Yoo Chae has logged in. [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Gilma-nim heh2 [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Hi hi [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Whoa? [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: As soon as Sleepy-nim came online, the Gilma came too~? [Guild] Hern: (；￣Д￣) ~? [Guild] Let’s do this: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Oh my god. How could that bastard’s log in timing coincide with his damn personality? I was seriously thinking about whether I should change my status even now and pretend not to know him, but Yoo Chae, who had taken all the greetings from the guild members, called for me. [Guild] Yoo Chae: there [Guild] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung With a form of address that no one had ever imagined him using. “…….?” I closed my eyes, wondering if I was dreaming for a moment. [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: ? [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ? [Guild] Harn: ? [Guild] Let’s do this: ? [Guild] I’m getting lazy: ? [Guild] Bright Clouds: ? [Guild] TheHunter: ? [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: I see 3 people who are ready to play 7 battles with a duel[1] [Guild] Manaolingnam: ? [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: ? [Guild] I’ll take care of you: and with that, I will stop the chat here I looked at the guild chat that had become a crucible of chaos, as my brain had finally started to hurt again, I answered cautiously. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: No way [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Did you call me with that? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Yesㅜ “……” It has only been 3 minutes since I made up my mind and logged into Zenoris. I slowly moved the mouse cursor to the [end game] button. — TL Note: 1 (there are seven people on the screen, who put ‘?’ first, would have to fight with the three people, which are Drink some water, Yoo Chae and I’m sleepy) --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Sellychi HM: so YC was being polite by adding ‘yo’ to every sentence right now.

3. Anyone who has played AOS games or FPS games will understand that feeling when you have to team up with other people who you have only met for the first time. ‘Ah! Swearing is so necessary in life.’ Cursing is basically a virtue in life. A person who insults others should be cursed back. At least that’s what I believe. Of course, I don’t swear at good mannered users who are enjoying the game nicely. The people I hate are the following: 1. A person who trolls because he doesn’t like me or confuses me with the enemy team. 2. A person who likes to sexually harass other users. 3. A guy who goes out of their way to start an argument with me. In fact, it was annoying to list them all, so most of the time I just block those players and focus on the game. In the case of HOL, the higher the tier, the less likely they are to swear or troll at you, because by that point you will start meeting people, who have similar tastes more and more. Anyway, playing games is just like working on a group assignment so it made me immune to any kind of infighting. It has been 16 years since I have played online games, starting with StarCraft, which was popular when I was in elementary school. I have been through almost everything, so I thought there would be no more unexpected surprises. [All] I’m Sleepy: Are you asking me to change my username; [All] I’m Sleepy: You’re talking shit all of a sudden ㅋㅋㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: Do you know me? Why talk so rudely? Contrary to my expectations, a bastard appeared. I was so angry that I even got riled up. I’m sure everyone has always encountered this kind of bastard in an RPG game to the point that you will start to ignore these kinds of people. [All] Park Seung-jin99: Ou… omg [All] Let’s do this: a three-line summary of what’s going on here? [All] Harn: It’s just the Gilma being Gilma [All] Harn: End of summary in one line [All] Park Seung-jin99: Gilma-nim, the two of you know each other or something? [All] Let’s do this: fr how many times has this been~ [All] Park Seung-jin99: The difference in popularity really is something… The guild members who came to play quickly turned into spectators and ate popcorn on the side-lines. Drink some water, who had been seeing the situation anxiously, rushed in. [All] Drink some water: Both of you calm down [All] Drink some water: I’m recruiting this year because of what happened last time was annoying [All] Yoo Chae: You can add abusive language as the reason for kicking him out, okay? [All] Yoo Chae: Even if the username doesn’t have any problems, he couldn’t even put his act together properly ㅋㅋ [All] Drink some water: Ah shut up; [All] I’m Sleepy: Could you introduce yourself? ㅋㅋㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: Are you a regular customer of mine? The childish spectacle continued. It was not really flashy or anything, but this is basically what fighting in a game chat is all about. It was a battle where the more childish you are, the higher the chances of winning. If we go any further than this, then we might end up clashing with each other after sending out our phone numbers. [All] Yoo Chae: Leave, okay? ㄱ [All] Drink some water: Oh, you’re talking dog shit.. [All] Drink some water: You know that the guild needs a new member right now; [All] Drink some water: good newbies are hard to find… [All] Harn: Is Sleepy-nim good? [All] Soeso: It took him less than two weeks to reach level 200 even though it’s his first time in this game ㅜㅜ [All] Yoo Chae: So, he leveled up quickly, it’s just that his luck is a little bit good ㅋㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: Oh, go ahead, then [All] I’m Sleepy: Your tongue is very long, huh?[1] [All] Yoo Chae: ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yoo Chae laughed at me like I was stupid, but I didn’t care as I was going to end this chat real soon. [All] I’m Sleepy: Are you scared? I already had the PVP[2] field setting turned on from the beginning. In , the PVP between users was very active compared to other games. It was probably because damage was a matter of skills. After I reached level 100, I got out of the beginner zone, and I could turn on the PVP setting at that time. It was a system that allowed users to battle with each other at any time. When I moved the mouse over Yoo Chae’s character, the mouse pointer changed to an attack icon, and it seems that he also has PVP turned on. Just looking at it, I felt like my brain froze. [All] Harn: Ei ㅋㅋㅋ no matter what, its pro fk vs newbie who haven’t even reached their full level...ha; [All] Let’s do this: Please don’t do itㅠ [All] Yoo Chae: ㄱ [All] Let’s do this: damn it,, [All] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The golden-luster level 9 item chain, which Yoo Chae wore around his waist, was glimmering brilliantly. This one hasn’t even reached the max level, let alone have items that were strengthened. A real ignorant bastard indeed. [All] Park Seung-jin99: I will do my best at being the announcer then... [All] Park Seung-jin99: It’s a newbie who hasn’t even reached the max level yet, I’m Sleepy on one side.. [All] Park Seung-jin99: -vs Yoo Chae, the Guild Master of the No. 1 guild in the server- [All] Harn: Kya; let’s goooo omg omg [All] Let’s do it: fr I can’t wait to see this Looking at the weapon, it was clear that Yoo Chae’s job was Chain Blade. Before Dark Mage was released, Chain Blade was the most difficult job to handle. ‘Certainly… except for a couple of basic skills, they were all non-targeted skills.’ Non-targeted. In other words, when focusing, most of the attacks can be avoided unlike targeted skills. Of course, I also have an overwhelming number of non-targeted skills, so it’s not advantageous for me at all. In the end, it was a battle of who had better control over their skills. Avoid the enemy’s skills and match your own skills to a certain level, so that you can survive. The difference between me and Yoo Chae is huge, so if I get hit once, I’ll be done in five moves. After stretching the fingers of both hands and readying the weapon, the opponent attacked first. Instinctively, by pressing the evasion skill, my character rolled over the ground to avoid the attack. [All] Park Seung-jin99: Oh? Boom, Every time Yoo Chae whipped his chain, lightning struck from the sky. Evasion skills also have a cooldown, so I had to wait 7 seconds to use them again. I narrowly avoided a direct attack and fired a quick-cast Ice Bolt. As expected, Yoo Chae did not get even a single hit. Still, Ice Bolt was a pretty fast skill. Unlike me, who avoided using the evasion skill, I got a sense of how skilled that person was when I saw him avoiding it without even using a skill. I turned on the moving-casting spell, a skill that uses advanced magic while moving my character and started charging the ice spear spell. The required time to cast the spell is 15 seconds. Crush! “Ah.” As soon as I thought I’d somehow hold out for 15 seconds while casting, the chain swung right towards my character. Tsk. I barely managed to dodge the attacks that came in succession by clicking my tongue and hastily using evasion skills. In that one shot, half of my stamina was blown away after he tried to attack me. I sense that I wouldn’t be able to hold on through the 5th one... If that’s the case, just one more hit and it’s over. [All] Harn: The battle is really crazy.. [All] Park Seung-jin99: That final moment was impressive, but it seems that the battle is not looking good for Sleepy-nim? The witnesses had already predicted my defeat. I twisted the corners of my mouth and smiled. If I was thinking that I would lose, then I wouldn’t even be fighting here in the first place. I concentrated intensively and avoided every attack that was pouring out without a break while also checking the ice spear spell charging gauge in my spare time. 95%, 96%, 97%. Just a little bit more. 98%, 99%. 100%. All gauges were filled completely. Finally, I used the evasion skill to roll on ground and without a moment of delay I drew the Ice Spear into the air. [All] Soeso: ㅅㅅㅅ[3] Since the Ice Spear Spell was a targeted skill, it can never be avoided. The character of Yoo Chae, who was excitedly swinging the chain, was wrapped in ice, and stiffened. The damage itself was weak, but it was a skill that can bind the opponent for 5 seconds. “Five seconds is enough.” As soon as I confirmed that the opponent was caught, I started charging the fireball spell by mashing the buttons repeatedly. It was the highest ranked skill among the ones I have and has the strongest damage. It has a big drawback that the character cannot move while charging, but there was no need to worry as Yoo Chae was frozen by the ice spear. Charging the fireball takes 5.3 seconds. The ice sphere lasts for 5 seconds. Even if there was a period of 0.3 seconds to escape, it cannot be avoided because the fireball range was quite wide. It’s my win! 5 seconds had passed, and I threw the fireball at Yoo Chae, who was just released from the ice spear. Even if you don’t die with this one shot, there will hardly be any health left, so if I just use a skill with a fast-casting spell...…… “......!” As I was about to cast a sub-skill in case of an unforeseen situation, I spotted a chain that was shot towards my character. Urgh! I instinctively pressed the evade skill in a hurry, but it didn’t activate because there were still 2 seconds of cooldown time left. Clutch! As the fireball was exhausted, a chain pierced my character’s heart. [All] Harn: Wow,fk what was that????? [All] Let’s do this: What happened? On the opposite side of my character who fell to the floor, I saw Yoo Chae, who had barely survived with 10% of his health left. “Haa….” As I looked at the gray screen, I sighed and wiped the corners of my eyes. I was careless. Even afterwards, I was hoping that I could still attack without giving up in that situation. Of course, I had to consider it though. ‘Have I become a fool after taking a break from games for nearly 4 months……’ It was a disappointing battle in many ways. Oh, if only I had reached level 210, the result would have been different. [All] Park Seung-jin99: Sleepy-nim, are you really a newbie? [All] Park Seung-jin99: I’m surprised; [All] Drink some water: If I’m being honest, I thought I was having a heart-attack with how intense this battle was [All] Harn: Me too omg Drink some water used a resurrection item on me. Until then, Yoo Chae, who was quietly drinking potions to heal himself, gave a comment. [All] Yoo Chae: okay, i admit it’s not bad [All] Park Seung-jin99: it’s crazy to be able to avoid Gilma-nim without using a skill break ㅋㅋ [All] Harn: Even I, who has been playing this since beta, wouldn’t be able to avoid that [All] Let’s do this: That’s your finger problem [All] Soeso: It’s a skill he gained from HOLㅋㅋㅋ [All] Harn: He plays HOL too? [All] I’m Sleepy: I guess partially Being annoyed, I answered roughly and drank the recovery potions. I lost the battle, so I have to leave the guild. It’s not funny to continue to be in this kind of situation. Just when I thought I found a good guild too, but I know when to step out. This was all because of Kim Dae-seok. [All] Drink some water: yea that’s right [All] Drink some water: He used to be a top ranker in every season too [All] Yoo Chae: What? It was then that Yoo Chae, who had been indifferent to the conversation, gained an interest in me. [All] Yoo Chae: He plays HOL? [All] Yoo Chae: Hero of Legends? [All] Drink some water: ? [All] Yoo Chae: You are a HOL top ranker? “……?” What, what’s wrong with him all of a sudden? [All] I’m Sleepy: Yeah [All] Yoo Chae: How about your username? [All] Yoo Chae: Could your username in HOL be ‘I’m Sleepy’ as well?? Now he even starts speaking formally. Mom, I’m scared of this bastard. I guess he really knows me there...……… [All] I’m Sleepy: ??; [All] I’m Sleepy: If I say yes, then what are you going to do about it… — TL Note: 1 (Like when you are bragging, the insult works in this case) 2 (Player vs Player) 3 (kinda like clapping or praying) --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Sellychi Ah, No... it doesn't have a manhwa.
